THE PASTOR AND THOSE MOST ACTIVE IN THE WORK
Beginning with Thursday evening
and continuing over Sunday a series
of religious and social services are to
be held in the Amity Reformed church
of this place, which will commemo-
rate the completion and remodeling
of an institutional church, the equal
. of which for commodiousness, and
artistic and religious effect are rarely
‘to be found except in our large eities.
The Amity Reformed church of
Meyersdale has undergone many
changes and repairs during the past
summer. The occasion for these
changes and repairs was the erection
of a Sunday school and soeial building
by the side of the church last sum-
mer, a description of which busiaig
was published -when i. was dedicated

church which was formerly used as a
Spray sehool .room ‘has now been
added to theaudiforium. The pulpit,
altar and choir space has been changed
from the west to the north side of the
chureh. The chancel space is under
an arch and the ceiling®and pews are

made to center towards it. ‘By the
side of it is another arch in which
stands a beautiful taree thousand dol-
lar pipe organ in front of which is the
choir platform. The ceiling has been
enriched with expesed beams and
panel work leading down towards the
altar, and is finished ii" cream color."
The inside wood work, pews and or-
gan are finished in mahogany color

The regular September term of
criminal court convened on Monday
morning at ten o’clock, Judge William
H. Ruppel presiding. Edward Smith,
the well-known Stoyestown justice of
the peace, was appointed foreman of
the grand jury. ;
When the constables made their re-
turns Judge Ruppel ealled their at-
tention fo a recent aet of assembly
requiring road ‘ supervisors to-maic-
tain finger boards at eross roads and
ati points where two. or more roads
fork. He -said the Johnstown Cham-
ber of Commerce has complained to
bim that this law has been practically
ignored by Somerset county supervi-
sors. The court told the constables
that, the law must be complied with
and that they shall notify such super-
visors who have not met the require-
menfs of the act. The court stated,
| however, that the eonstables shall
not hastily bring prosecutions against
supervisors, but shall first endeavor
by peaceable means to bring about
the desired result. Judge Ruppel said
‘though:that if necessary to have the
hand beards put up it is necessary to
.courts that this action shall be taken.
The court . also stated that there is
‘considerable complaint about super-
visors failing to remove loose stones
from the public highway.
